FOREWORD 



•V 



The war needs of the nation are men, food and money. 
It is the duty of our State Council of Defense, acting in 
complete co-operation with the National Council of De- 
fense appointed by President Wilson, to supply promptly 
Arizona's quota of the men, money and food needed to 
win this war. 

In the recently completed registration for the selective 
draft 36,932 men between twenty-one and thirty were 
registered within this state, exceeding the estimate for 
Arizona by 2,118. 

The proportion of the Liberty Bond assigned to Ari- 
zona was $5,000,000.00, and our subscriptions have ex- 
ceeded this allotment by $1,326,750.00. 

At the request of the Executive Committee, the chair- 
man of the State Council while in Washington, conferred 
with Secretary of Labor Wilson, urging that owing to the 
shortage of agricultural labor in the Southwest the illiter- 
acy test and the per head tax as to Mexican labor be sus- 
pended, and am glad to advise you that the Secretary has 
already taken favorable action in this connection. 

In every section of the state an organized practical 
drive is on for increased food production, and it is now 
evident that Arizona will produce more food this year 
than ever before in her history. 

The boys in the high schools, ready and willing to do 
"their bit", are enlisting for agricultural service, and in 
Maricopa County nearly one hundred boys, divided into 
camps and under a well directed military system, are 
now making an excellent record for efficient field work. 
It is hoped to extend this boys work throughout the state. 

The women of Arizona, with their usual energy and 
public spirit, are organized under the direction of our 
Committee on Food Production and Conservation, for in- 
creased thrift, conservation in the home, and the reduc- 
tion of waste to a minimum. 

Under the immediate direction of the State Council of 
Defense, a complete crop census of the state is being pre- 
pared and platted for use in this and future years. 

AUG 20 1917 



The men of Arizona are now well organized for ade- 
quate home protection, and our transportation resources, 
including automobiles, have been thoroughly listed and 
placed in readiness for any emergency. 

The relief work is well organized and the work of the 
Arizona Red Cross is said to be one of the best examples 
of efficiency in the entire country. While the Red Cross 
is organized as a separate national agency, our relief 
committee is prepared to assist the Red Cross in every 
way possible. 

The State Council is doing its utmost to avoid wasted 
energy. At the start some overlapping of work naturally 
occurred. The needs of the work naturally change from 
day to day but we endeavor to meet them promptly as 
they arise. Much of that already accomplished has been 
by voluntary workers. As the work increases more paid 
workers will probably be needed and our financial com- 
mittee are arranging a systematic plan involving the pro- 
portional distribution throughout the state of the cost. 

The most crying need at present is to bring up the First 
Arizona Infantry to war strength, and it seems essential 
that a vigorous, systematic effort should be made by the 
Council of Defense to fill up this regiment by voluntary 
enlistment. Sixteen hundred men are needed. Unless 
these are supplied by August 5th we understand the regi- 
ment may be disbanded and we will be without a state 
regiment in the national army. Impartial reports indi- 
cate that the nucleus of this regiment now numbering 664 
men, is a decided credit to the state, and ways and means 
should be at once devised to fill up this regiment. Pride 
in our state demands that we give our best efforts to this 
work. 

On behalf of the Council of Defense I wish to thank 
the public spirited men and women of Arizona for the 
support given us. We welcome suggestions at any time 
from all citizens, and with the thorough co-operation of 
the people of Arizona hope to establish a record for real 
service. 

Yours faithfully, 

DWIGHT B. HEARD. 



BRIEF RESUME OF FIRST REPORT OF EXECUTIVE 
COMMITTEE. 

Accomplishments of the Arizona Council of Defense, 
its Executive Committee and its fifteen sub-committees 
since the Council was organized on April 18th, are set 
forth in the first report of the Executive Committee 
which may be summarized as follows: 

The membership of the Council at this time includes 
about 200 men and women appointed by the Governor. 
Only five persons are on salary. The others are both 
giving their time to the work and paying their own ex- 
penses. 

A secretary, statistician, engineer, stenographers and 
clerks are carrying on the daily work at the headquar- 
ters of the Council at the Capitol in Phoenix. In addition 
many volunteers are being called on daily to assist in the 
work. The Council is correlating all units which are 
working along lines of war preparedness in order that 
there shall be no over-lapping of work. 

The Council is assisting in the mobilization of boys for 
farm labor and in the mobilization of Papago, Apache 
and Navajo Indians for farm work during the fall harv- 
est when the boys return to school. 

Prompt response is being made to all suggestions sub- 
mitted by men and women in the state, with proper refer- 
ence of the same to the National Defense Council where 
such suggestions embrace ideas which might be of bene- 
fit to the nation and all state councils of defense. The 
Council is classifying all offers of service for ready refer- 
ence, and the chairmen of proper committees are in- 
formed of such offers. 

Assistance was rendered to the State Registrar and all 
sheriffs of counties in the work preliminary to registra- 
tion under the selective draft provision of the war army 
bill. In this connection circulars were printed in foreign 
languages and distributed throughout the state, inform- 
ing foreigners of the requirements to register, but that 
only citizens of the United States would be drawn for 
service. This action was taken in order to stop the de- 



parture of many foreigners who were needed in the 
state for labor on the farms and in the mines. 

A complete crop census of the state is being made and 
platted maps of acreage in cultivation is first shown on 
the school district maps done by the field men, then the 
crops are platted in colors on the county map. This will 
not only give the exact actual present crop conditions 
but furnish a basis for most intelligent crop planting in 
1918. The county agents are giving invaluable aid in 
this work and the results are being tabulated at the 
headquarters of the State Council of Defense by Mr. J. E. 
Sellers, an expert statistician. 

The chairman of the Council has taken a keen personal 
interest in this work, and it is hoped to make this crop 
survey one of the most complete and comprehensive in 
the country. By this graphic method of presenting agri- 
cultural conditions one is able to secure, almost at a 
glance, the exact agricultural situation in every school 
district. As a definite illustration of the value of this 
map, plans are now under way to get all the grain lands 
in Maricopa County (nearly 30,000) into milo maize. 

Increased food production will be a big factor in win- 
ning this war, and through this crop survey Arizona will 
be able to base its food production work on facts and not 
conjectures. 

The Executive Committee of the Arizona Council of 
Defense took up the matter of exorbitant prices of food 
stuff and formulated a definite plan to curb and prevent 
such undue advantages. This work was carried on effec- 
tively and when the food bill of the congress becomes 
operative, much valuable information will be turned over 
to the Food Dictator. 

Bankers throughout the state were appealed to direct- 
ly, to extend financial assistance to the many land owners 
in Arizona, who are ready and willing to co-operate in 
the work of extending production, and they are comply- 
ing with the request in a very liberal and public spirited 
way. 

The enforcement of the new Immigration Law it was 
found would deprive Arizona of a great influx of labor 



for farms and industries from Old Mexico. A resolution 
was adopted and telegraphed to Dwight B. Heard, who 
was at the time in Washington attending a meeting of 
the National Council of Defense, urging a modification 
in the operation of the new immigration law to such an 
extent that Arizona should not be deprived of laborers 
so necessary for farm work in the present war crisis. The 
matter was given favorable consideration by the Secretary 
of Labor and an order issued enabling laborers to come 
into this country under affidavit and surveillance, insuring 
the government that their labor will be given to the 
farms. 

The Arizona Council of Defense took a prominent part 
in assisting in securing subscriptions to the Liberty 
Bonds, a publicity campaign for the bonds having been 
conducted by the committee throughout the state. The 
members of the Council were of great assistance in rais- 
ing the Arizona quota of the Red Cross Fund. The bonds 
were over-subscribed in the state, and Arizona's Red 
Cross quota was exceeded. 

The Woman's Auxiliary is now organized and doing 
effective work in Maricopa County. This branch of the 
work is being extended to all of the counties of the state 
under a plan of organization approved by Doctor von 
KleinSmid, chairman of the Committee on Food Produc- 
tion, Conservation and Distribution. 

The chart to be found in the front of this booklet gives 
a brief but comprehensive outline of the plan of organ- 
ization of the Arizona Council of Defense, together with 
the functions of the various sub-committees, The Execu- 
tive Committee of the Council of Defense works directly 
with the National Defense Council and is co-operating 
with State Councils of Defense and all sub-committees 
of the Council are working in complete harmony. While 
a great deal of the work is done by chairmen of the sub- 
committees, there are many matters which must be 
passed on by the Executive Committee which meets on 
the call of the chairman at headquarters. 

Mrs. Pauline M. O'Neill, chairman for Arizona of the 
Women's Committee of the National Defense Council, is 



working in co-operation with the State Council, and had 
charge of the registration of women in Arizona in the 
campaign instituted by Herbert Hoover, chairman of the 
national committee on food conservation, to enlist all 
women in household saving. 

There has been such a magnitude of detail work per- 
formed that it would burden this report to attempt to 
give a complete outline of all that has been accomplished 
by the Executive Committee. The funds for the support 
of the Council are being raised by popular subscription, 
and because of the lack of funds the work has been con- 
fined necessarily to only the most important problems. 

In the event that the appeal of the Executive Commit- 
tee for funds meets with the general response, the activi- 
ties of the Council will be immediately extended to cover 
other important phases of war preparedness in Arizona.

general preparedness and for meeting the present emerg- 
encies in securing competent members for the Officers' 
Reserve Corps. The chairman and the vice-chairman as- 
sisted applicants in presenting their applications for ad- 
mission to the corps and examined candidates for the 
training camp at the Presidio. 

This Committee has done everything possible to en- 
courage enlistment in the First Arizona Infantry, and the 
various branches of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. 
The chairman of the Committee visited the training camp 
at the Presidio in the interests of Arizona men.

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY OF MARICOPA COUNTY. 

Mrs. Char'.es H. Schulz, Chairman of Clearing House; Mrs. Gayle Allen Camp- 
bell, Chairman of Publicity; Mrs. Frank H. Parker, Chairman of Transportation; 
Mrs. H. A. Guild, chairman of Program and Meetings; Mrs. Olive A. Stark, Secre- 
tary and Treasurer. 

Immediately upon organization, the Committee on 
Production, Conservation and Distribution of Foods cast 
about to discover any agencies already existing through 
which its projected work could be done most quickly 
and most effectively. In the absence of any considerable 
appropriation, it was necessary to carry on the work of 
the Committee very largely through agencies already 
financed and through organizations already equipped 
for service. The University of Arizona, with its College 
of Agriculture and its Agricultural Extension Service 
well established throughout the state, offered immediate 
advantages to the Committee and placed itself without 
reserve at the service of the Council. The following items 
were taken up immediately and considerable progress 
made : 

1. By vote of the faculties of the University of Ari- 
zona, all students of whatever classification who would 
agree to enter some field of food production were re- 
leased at once (May 1st), for such service; actual labor 
in the field being accepted in lieu of further work in 
completion of the year's courses. About thirty young 
men and women took advantage of this arrangement. 

2. A pamphlet of general recommendations on ways 
and means to preserve the food supply in Arizona was 
immediately issued, some twenty— five thousand copies be- 
ing distributed throughout the state. 

Eighteen different bulletins mailed to all sections of 
the state to be posted in conspicuous places have at- 



tracted the attention of farmers and housewives to the 
ways and means of increasing production and conserving 
food supply. 

3. The Agriculural Extension Service, through its di- 
rector; through its state leader in Home Economics, who 
was made director of woman's work throughout the 
state ; through its leader of Boys' and Girls' Club Work ; 
its County Agents in Maricopa, Cochise, Graham, Green- 
lee, Navajo and Apache counties, and through its Live 
Stock Specialist held meetings in all parts of the state 
to urge the necessity of increased production and to dem- 
onstrate ways and means of handling food to best ad- 
vantage. New agents were placed in Pima, Pinal, Yava- 
pai and Coconino counties to carry on this .work while 
one additional assistant was employed in woman's work, 
and three were added to the staff carrying on work 
among Boys' and Girls' Clubs. 

4. To augment this work referred to above, as well 
as to encourage enlistment and contributions along all 
lines of war work, this Chairman of the Committee filled 
speaking appointments in the following cities and towns : 
Phoenix (2), Tucson (2), Bisbee, Douglas, Casa Grande, 
Yuma, Prescott, Glendale, Thatcher, Safford, Ray, Wil- 
liams, Globe, Miami and Clifton, meeting with most 
hearty support on the part of the local members of the 
Council of Defense, and enthusiastic hearing on the part 
of the audiences gathered for the exercises. 

5. Considerable stimulus has been given to the grow- 
ing of school gardens, while farm gardens grown by resi- 
dents of the town have sprung up in many parts of the 
state. Conspicuous among these latter are those in the 
Miami district financed completely by the Inspiration 
Copper Company. A member of the University staff was 
sent into this section to live among the farms and to as- 
sist the gardeners in their work. 

6. The work of organizing and superintending the 
Boys' Reserve Squads, at first under control of this Com- 
mittee, has been relinquished to the State Director of 
Boys' work acting immediately under the Federal De- 
partment of Labor. The success of the State Director in 
this line of work has been most encouraging. 



7. The crop survey work under the direct supervision 
of the Chairman of the Arizona Council of Defense, 
working to considerable extent with the organization ol 
this Committee, has opened the way for a distinct success 
and a very valuable service. 

8. Some work has been done among the Papago In- 
dians to encourage the increase of acreage on their res- 
ervation. 

9. When it has seemed unwise to go into the matter 
of seed distribution to a large extent in the absence ol 
capital and facilities for handling seeds, individual mem- 
bers of the Committee have been able to bring into their 
sections, particularly at Flagstaff and Williams on the 
Santa Fe and Wilcox and Cochise on the Southern Pa- 
cific, car loads of potatoes and other needed seeds. 

10. Distinct work has been accomplished among the 
range men in counteracting diseases among cattle and 
sheep, and encouraging the building of silos through 
wjiich to tide over the extremely dry period when ordin- 
arily thousands of animals die on the ranges. 

11. Particularly in Maricopa County, through the co- 
operation of the women organized in auxiliary bodies, 
great quantities of fruit that otherwise would have been 
wasted have been saved for local consumption. 

12. A great mass of correspondence seeking advice 
in matters of planting and care of crops has been an- 
swered or referred to proper authorities. 

13. Many requests for assistance in the occupation of 
new lands, in the utilization of Indian lands, and in the 
extension of water service have been taken up through 
the proper channels with some degree of success or have 
been referred to other committees of the Council. 

14. Investigations have been set on foot leading to a 
general survey of the labor situation in the state, only 
awaiting the Federal appropriation to complete this in- 
vestigation. An agent will be placed in the field on full 
time. 

15. The Chairman of this Committee has been able 
during the last six weeks to visit nearly every part of the 
state to investigate crop conditions, to talk intimately 
with farmers, merchants and professional men concern-

ing the needs of the hour and to lend what little assist-

crease in production of food supplies. 

Chairman von KleinSmid says that there seems to be a 
very general awakening to the demands forced upon us by 
war conditions. However, there needs to be a sterner 
realization of the urgency of our needs. There still go 
on those practices which make for inexcusable waste and 
which indicate failure to comprehend the real nature of 
our obligations. The Committee, through every agency 
at its command, is continuing to increase the crop output 
of the state, and welcomes suggestions and assistance 
from every possible source.

Donnelly, Chairman of the Committee on Labor, calling 
for a conference of the mine managers and representa- 
tives of the mine workers. This resolution was referred 
to the Committee on Labor. A meeting of that commit- 
tee was called by the chairman to consider the resolu- 
tion. The members of this committee met at Phoenix, on 
May 17th. The chairman of the committee stated that 
in his opinion a state of discontentment and dissatisfac- 
tion was apparent throughout the copper camps of Ari- 
zona, and expressed the belief that such discontentment 
was in the main attributed to the fact that there was no 
method or means provided for such democratic expres- 
sion of the mine workers' grievances. The resolution 
was tabled and the committee adjourned without taking 
any further action. This was the only matter submitted 
to the committee on labor.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC DEFENSE AND SECURITY. 

Capt. John C. Greenway, Chairman, Warren; Arthur Notman, Secretary, Bis- 
bee; Capt. J. L. B. Alexander, Phoenix; Fred Colter, Colter ville: Raymond F. Ehrhart, 
Nogales; Charles O. Ellis, Douglas; G. A. Franz, Clifton; John F. Francis, Flag-

Geo- J. Stoneman, Phoenix > 

The first task of the Committee on Public Defense and 
Security was to devise a plan of organization for local 
defense. At the time of the organization of the State Coun- 
cil of Defense, the Mexican situation was still threaten- 
ing and this committee was one of the first to get into 
action. Less than two weeks after the organization of 
the Council this Committee met at Phoenix with almost 
a full membership present and adopted a plan of organi- 
zation which has since been put into effect throughout 
the state. This plan calls for the appointment by the 
Mayors of incorporated towns and villages, and by the 
sheriff in isolated communities, of a committee of five 
members, the Mayor or sheriff himself being a member, 
which committee immediately appoints a local council of 
defense, consisting of seven members, the latter being a 
permanent organization. These local councils of defense 
have in turn appointed the following committees : Intelli- 
gence, Police, Law, Finance and External Defense. 

The local committees on Intelligence are co-operating 
with the city police, sheriffs, transportation and mining 
companies and others in a position to gather information 
of acts or utterances unfriendly to the United States. 
These Intelligence Committees report direct to the near- 
est agent of the Department of Justice, who makes an in- 
vestigation of the report. 

The Police Committee, with the various city councils, 
prepare a list of dependable citizens who will volunteer 
for extra police duty in time of need. These men are or- 
ganized, sworn in, instructed and equipped for service 
when needed for guarding water supplies, power plants, 
food supplies, and other institutions upon which the com- 
munity depends for existence. 

The Law Committees act in an advisory capacity to the 
other rorormttpps pnd keen thoroughly posted on the 

12 



proclamations issued by the president, governor or any 
army officer in their vicinity. 

The Finance Committees are seeking equitable means 
of equalizing and meeting the expenses of defense work. 
In a number of instances arrangements for the purchase 
of rifles, machine guns, and ammunition have been made 
through city councils. 

The Committee on External Defense selects the captain 
of the Home Guards, who is deputized by the sheriff of 
the county in order to legalize the organization. The 
Home Guards are divided into squads of eight men each ; 
each member of a squad has a rifle, 200 rounds of am- 
munition, and a blanket at home for immediate use. 
Upon a prearranged signal of alarm, it has been ar- 
ranged for each squad to report to the squad leader at 
a previously designated point. Assembled squads re- 
ceive their instructions from the captain of the Home 
Guard. Upon this frame work has been built up effec- 
tive defense organizations in all of the important incor- 
porated towns and cities of the state. 

The Committee on Public Defense and Security is also 
undertaking the task of having a complete military cen- 
sus taken in the various counties of the state, supplemen- 
tal to the registration made by the Federal government 
for the selective draft. For this purpose blanks have 
been provided which give not only description of person 
registered, but his qualifications to serve the government 
or the state in any particular capacity during the war. 
The registration blank also shows what arms and am- 
munition, if any, he possesses, what his previous military 
service has been, and what languages he is able to speak. 
This committee has also compiled information as to 
where additional arms and ammunition, if necessary, can 
be secured, and the chairman of the committee is keeping 
in close touch with the chairmen of local committees and 
with captains of the Home Guards. 

The Committee on Public Defense and Security has 
been doing everything in its power to encourage enlist- 
ment in the First Arizona Infantry, Captain Greenway 
co-operating with Governor Campbell and Chairman 
Heard.

COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION. 

Col. Epes Randolph, Chairman, Tucson; Neil Bailey, Prescott; R. D. Canfield, 
Phoenix; W. A. Drake, Prescott; Henry Heide, Winslow; Wesley Hill, Phoenix; F. 
B. King, Douglas; L. H. Manning, Tucson; P. Reisinger, Clifton; C. M. Scott, Phoe- 
nix; R. H. Tuttle, Winslow. 

Probably the most exhaustive report prepared by any 
of the sub-committees of the Council is that of the Com- 
mittee on Transportation. This report is in book form 
and in its preparation Colonel Randolph, the Chairman 
of the Committee, secured the co-operation of every 
member of his committee. C. M. Scott, member of this 
committee in Phoenix, rendered valuable assistance in 
the work. 

This report gives in detail the exact mileage of all of 
the railroads in the state, the equipment in engines, pas- 
senger cars, baggage cars, freight cars, water cars, 
shops, and all the innumerable supplies used in the oper- 
ation of great railroad systems. The report gives the 
location of all bridges and culverts, of all railroad sta- 
tions and telegraph offices, the number of troops of 
each branch of the service that could be moved a given 
distance in a given time. Complete freight and passen- 
ger time tables of every line of railroad in the state are 
attached to the report. There is a map of every railroad 
in the state also included. 

In addition, Colonel Randolph's committee, through 
Wesley Hill, one of the members , has listed all trucks, 
touring cars and roadsters over twenty-five horsepower 
in the state, available for voluntary service. This report 
is also submitted in book form by Colonel Randolph. 

The report of the Transportation Committee enables 
the Arizona Council of Defense, the governor, or military 
authorities to answer immediately and without reference 
any inquiry from the War Department or the National 
Council of Defense relating to the transportation facili- 
ties of the state.

COMMITTEE ON RELIEF. 

Judge E. W. Wells, Chairman, Prescott; Bishop Julius W. Atwood, Phoenix; 
H. C. Almy, Tombstone; Mrs. Joseph Clark, Mesa; Gordon Clark, Prescott; Mrs. E. 
W. French, Ray; Rev. John Frye, Bisbee; Mrs. Morris Goldwater, Prescott; Rev. 
Golden, Nogales ; Roy S. Goodrich, Phoenix; Mrs. H. A. Guild, Phoenix; Mrs. J. 
D. Henderson, Phoenix; Dr. J. A. Ketcherside, Yuma; Mrs. Elizabeth W. Layton, 
Thatcher; J. W. Lesueur, Mesa; Mrs. H. A. Morgan, Willcox; Miss Jane Ryder, 
Tucson; Mrs. Michael Reardon, Clifton; Mrs. Joseph W. Smith, Snowflake; Rev. E. 
W. Simonson, Douglas; Judge J. M. Lally, Morenci; Miss Leila Spence, Prescott; 
Mrs. Gordon Tweed, Phoenix; Mrs. D. K. Udall, St. Johns; Father Cyprian Vabre, 
Flagstaff; Allen Ware, Kingman; Harry Welch, Phoenix; J. T. Whitney, Phoenix; 
Mrs. Sarah B. Moody, Thatcher. 

Each county of the state has been assigned as a relief 
district by the Chairman of the Committee on Relief and 
a member of the Relief Committee in such county has 
been made chairman of the relief work there with au- 
thority to organize and carry on the work in the county 
in such a manner as will secure the best results, confer- 
ring from time to time with the chairman of the commit- 
tee and evolving a system of co-operation that will ulti- 
mately make a successful working unit of the Council of 
Defense. 

This committee is co-operating with the Red Cross 
forces in every county of the state and will work in con- 
junction with this organization in caring for dependent 
families of soldiers at the front. In some of the counties 
provision is being made in the budget for a large addi- 
tional amount for carrying on this work. In a number of 
the counties members of the Relief Committee are offi- 
cials of the Red Cross organization and the work of the 
Relief Committee and the Red Cross is being carried on 
j ointly . 

While seventy-five per cent of the Red Cross fund 
raised in the state will remain in Arizona to be admin- 
istered by local committees for the relief of dependent 
soldiers' families, it is realized that this fund may not be 
sufficient to meet the needs and for this reason boards 
of supervisors are including additional sums for this pur- 
pose in the 1917-18 budget. Thus the burden of relier 
work will be equitably distributed among all the tax- 
payers.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC HEALTH AND 
SANITATION. 

Dr. R. N. Looney, Chairman, Prescott ; Dr. J. E. Bacon, Miami; Dr. William 
Bouldin, St. Johns; Dr. L. A. W. Burtch. Clifton; Dr. Meade Clyne, Tucson; Dr. R. 
W. Craig, Phoenix; Dr. F. W. Chenoweth, Nogales ; Dr. John W. Flinn, Prescott; 
Dr. G. Huffman, Florence; Dr. J. N. Haywood, Thatcher; Mrs. Pauline M. 
O'Neill, Phoenix; Dr. E. Payne Palmer, Phoenix; Dr. O. B. Patton, Ajo ; Dr. R. 0. 
Raymond, Flagstaff; Dr. F. H. Redewill, Phoenix; Dr. C. E. Rooney, Yuma; Mrs. 
W. 0. Schlueter, Winslow; Dr. F. S. Shine, Warren; Dr. A. L. Tilton, Kingman; 
Major C. E. Yount, Naco. 

The principal work of the Committee on Public Health 
and Sanitation has been the compiling of a report show- 
ing the number and location of all hospitals in the state, 
the number of beds in each, the location of available 
temporary hospitals which might be used in connection 
with the Red Cross; the name, address and telephone 
number of every person connected with "first aid to the 
injured"; the name, address and telephone number of 
every physician and surgeon, who will give his services 
when needed; the name, address and telephone number 
of every nurse ; the location of all medical and surgical 
supplies within the state, the amount thereof and how 
they may be obtained. 

While the committee has not entirely completed this 
work, due to the fact that it calls for a medical census of 
the entire state, it has gone so far as to complete the list 
of hospitals and the number of beds in each with lists of 
Red Cross workers, physicians, surgeons, and nurses 
available for service in the time of need, and hundreds 01 
names of persons who have taken the first aid work in 
Arizona. 



COMMITTEE ON MINES AND MANUFACTORIES. 

C. E. Mills, Chairman, Inspiration (Miami); W. C. Browning, Superior; M. 
Curley, Ajo; E. M. Colvocoresses, Humboldt; S. W. French, Douglas; B. B. Gotts- 
berger, Miami; M. H. McLean, Morenci; D. R. Muir, Goldroads ; A. G. McGregor, 
Warren; A. R. Nickerson, Williams; Edward Titcomb, Nogales ; W. B. Twitchell, 
Phoenix ; Lawrence J. Harris, Phoenix. 

Due to the fact that the manufacturing industry of the 
state consists almost solely in the production of copper, 
there has been very little for this committee to under- 
take, but reports have been compiled from all of the 
mines of the state showing just what measures have been 
taken to safe-guard mines and reduction work.

COMMITTEE ON SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. 

Dr. D. T. MacDougal, Chairman, Tucson; Dr. A. E. Douglas, Tucson; Dr. H. W. 
Henrie, Bisbee; H. Hollis, Douglas; Dr. H. B. McCallum, Continental; Dr. Forest 
Shreve, Tucson; Dr. V. M. Slipher, Flagstaff; Dr. H. A. Spoehr, Tucson; H. A. 
Tobelman, Cornelia; Dr. Warner Watkins, Phoenix; Prof. C. F. Willis, Tucson; Dr. 
H. W. Fenner, Tucson. 

More than a score of scientists of the state, among 
them some of the best known scientists in their particu- 
lar line of work in the country, have been mobilized by 
Dr. D. T. MacDougal, Chairman of this committee, who 
is also an active member of the California Council of 
Defense, and who is serving on research committees, ad- 
visory to the National Council of Defense. 

Professor Charles F. Willis, Secretary of this Commit- 
tee and Director of the Arizona Bureau of Mines, imme- 
diately set about gathering information relative to the 
scientists and scientific laboratories available within the 
state. A special blank form was prepared for both scien- 
tists and those at the head of the scientific laboratories, 
and the response to this was very gratifying. While this 
census of Arizona scientists is not entirely completed, it 
has demonstrated that there are about twelve hundred 
scientists in the state, ready, willing and anxious to serve 
in any capacity for which their training fits them. 

This committee has also ascertained that there are in 
Arizona over two hundred laboratories of all kinds, in- 
cluding chemical, metallurgical, botanical, pathological, 
hospital and others which are available for use. A num- 
ber of these laboratories are already at work on prob- 
lems of immediate concern in connection with the wai 
conditions. 

Probably one of the most important phases of the work 
of this Committee has been the examination of sugges- 
tions, criticism or approval of many plans and materials 
which are aimed to assist in sub-marine warfare. One 
of these has been turned over to the Federal govern- 
ment for further information. Metallurgical research by 
members of the committee and by co-operators is already 
under way, and while it is not possible to report definite 
results, a great deal is being accomplished in the way 01 
preparation to meet emergencies.

COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIONS. 

Allen B. Jaynas, Chairman, Tucson; Charles H. Akers, Phoenix; Fred Breen. 
Flagstaff; George H. Kelly, Douglas: James H. McClintock, Phoenix; P. R. Milnes, 
Prescott. 

The newspapers of the state were prompt to tender 
their services to the Arizona Council of Defense and 
have been most liberal in giving space to the articles 
telling of the activities of the Council and supplied by the 
Committee on Publications. This committee is sending 
out publicity on the defense work almost daily to fifty- 
six daily and weekly newspapers within the state, to of- 
ficials of the Defense Council and to the publicity com- 
mittee of the National Council of Defense and of the 
state councils in all of the states where the same have 
been organized. 

The Committee on Publications conducted a campaing 
in the newspapers of the state for the sale of Liberty 
Bonds, sent out the advance notices of the meetings held 
in many cities and towns under the auspices of the state 
Council of Defense, and is keeping the newspapers ad- 
vised of the activities of each of the sub-committees. 

The committee on publications wishes to take this op- 
portunity to publicly acknowledge the many tenders of 
hearty co-operation received from editors all over the 
state in response to an inquiry as to whether they would 
be willing to publish without charge the articles on de- 
fense work furnished by this committee, and to publicly 
thank them for the splendid service which they are ren- 
dering the cause. 



COMMITTEE ON LAW. 

Wiley E. Jones, Chairman, Phoenix; Thomas A. Flynn, Phoenix; Frank O. 
Smith, Prescott; Walter Shute, Globe; Richard E. Sloan, Phoenix. 

Only one matter has been submitted to the Committee 
on Law for decision. This question is the authority of the 
Board of Supervisors to appropriate from county funds 
a proportionate share of the amount which it is proposed 
to raise annually for the Council of Defense. The com- 
mittee has not yet rendered an opinion on this subject.

COMMITTEE ON HIGHWAYS AND ROUTES OF 
OF TRAVEL. 

Lamar Cobb, Chairman, Phoenix; Gustav Becker, Springerville; Edwin liabbitr, 
Flagstaff; Dr. A. J. Chandler, Chandler; Thomas Devine, Kingman; W. J. Ellery , 
Miami; John Guthrie, Flagstaff; Lin Orme, Phoenix: Joe Prochaska, Miami; John 
C. Ryan, Warren; William Stephens, Prescott; Dr. Forest Shreve, Tucson; R. J. 
Young, Safford. 

This Committee is engaged in preparing a map of Ari- 
zona which will show all public highways, together with 
grades, curvatures and other data. Each County Engi- 
neer is assisting in this work by supplying the informa- 
tion requested and the map will be completed under the 
direction of Chairman Cobb. This will be the most com- 
prehensive road map ever prepared in the state, and will 
be of invaluable use for the military as well as the Coun- 
cil of Defense. Several months will be required to com- 
plete this work. 



COMMITTEE ON FEDERAL AND INTERSTATE 
RELATIONS. 

G. W. P. Hunt, Chairman, Phoenix; Henry F. Ashurst, Prescott; Carl Hayden, 
Tempe ; Joseph H. Kibbey, Phoenix; Mark A. Smith, Tucson; W. H. Sawtelle, 
Tucson. 

While the work of the Committee on Federal and In- 
terstate Relations is necessarily limited, Honorable 
George W. P. Hunt, Chairman of this committee has 
been in correspondence with the government and with 
Arizona's representatives in Congress, and is in touch 
with the National Defense Council and the defense coun- 
cils of the other states in the Union, correlating the work 
as fast as possible. 



COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC REVENUE AND FINANCE. 

John H. Page, Chairman, Phoenix; Bracy Curtis, Nogales ; Mike J. Cunning- 
ham, Bisbee; James S. Douglas, Douglas; W. H. Dagg, Winslow; R. N. Fredericks, 
Prescott; Lorenzo Hubbell, Ganado; Ernest F. Kellner, Superior; H. W. Lewis, 
Jerome; H. McLane, Morenci; H. J. McClung, Phoenix; George Michelson, Yuma, 
R. E. Moore, Phoenix; S. Oberf elder. Phoenix; T. E. Pollock, Flagstaff; W. W. 
Pace, Thatcher; W. K. Ridenour, Kingman; McDonald Robinson, Williams; Charles 
F. Solomon, Tucson; J. G. Spangler, Mesa; J. D. Wick, Globe; G. A. Keyes, Winslow. 

This committee is composed of twenty-one members of 
the Council of Defense, at least one member from each 

19 



of the counties in Arizona, with the chairman a resident 
of Phoenix, which enables him to keep in close touch 
with the headquarters office at the State House. 

There are several lines of work that this committee 
should undertake, but the first and most important mat- 
ter is to raise at once the amount necessary in order that 
the headquarters office and all of the sub-committees 
can proceed in the work already under way and make 
plans for further necessary work with the funds to meet 
the expenses actually provided. In many states the legis- 
latures have already appropriated large sums for their 
Councils of Defense but the Arizona Council decided that 
a big appropriation was not essential, that results couia 
be accomplished mainly by volunteer workers. It was 
desired to avoid the necessity for calling a special ses- 
sion of the Arizona Legislature to provide for tne neces- 
sary expenses of the Council, for the expense or sucn 
session would amount to nearly as much as is needed for 
the actual work. 

The expenses of the Arizona Council of Defense prior 
to July first were met by individual contributions, aggre- 
gating a little less than $5,000, from many patriotic and 
public spirited citizens and corporations who immediate- 
ly realized the necessity for this organization. It was 
then estimated that an additional $25,000 would be 
necessary to cover the expenses for the new fiscal year. 
This amount was apportioned to the different counties on 
the basis of taxation and the committee members in each 
county are attending to the matter of raising their coun- 
ty's allotment. 

Two different methods are being followed in the sev- 
eral counties, according to conditions, one by securing 
subscriptions from as many taxpayers as possible, and the 
other by direct appropriation by the Boards of Super- 
visors, which will result in every taxpayer bearing his 
equitable proportion. It is hoped and expected that the 
entire $25,000 will be subscribed in a very short time, 
which will make it possible for the Arizona Council to 
proceed with the knowledge that funds are available to 
pay all authorized expenses as they are incurred.
